Les maken...
1
Hi, good morning.
2
This is Tommy and this is my daily English speaking challenge.
3
And these are three things that you need to avoid when learning English.
4
Number one, overcomplicate learning English.
5
A lot of people think that they have to use advanced words
6
or idioms or complicated grammar structures when they speak English
7
but no native speakers they don't do
8
that they focus on fluency instead of perfection as long as
9
you can express your ideas using English the rest doesn't matter
10
speak English with a smile on your face not pressure you've Got it!
11
Number 2.
12
Translating in your head first in Vietnamese before speaking English.
13
You know translating only slows you down and it makes you more embarrassed when speaking English.
14
Instead, learn English by phrases and try to make examples with every new word that you learned.
15
So remember to think in English, not translate.
16
And number three, fear of making mistakes.
17
Think about that my friend.
18
If you are afraid to fall, how can you learn to walk?
19
Same with learning English.
20
You have to be okay with making mistakes.
21
You have to be okay with using wrong grammar or mispronouncing the words.
22
That's a part of your learning progress.
23
So learn to speak English with mistakes.
24
So what about you?
25
What do you think is stopping you from speaking English fluently?
26
Let me know in the comments.
27
And if you have been stuck in learning English, you need somebody to help.
28
Let me be that person.
29
Over the past four years, I've helped lots of people overcome their fear of speaking English and even fall in love with this language.
30
Leave me a message and I can't wait to be with you.
31
I hope you have a beautiful day.
32
Peace.
33
Hi, good morning.
34
This is Tommy and this is my daily English speaking challenge.
35
I have a question for you today.
36
Are you still waiting for the opportunities?
37
This is something that you might need to hear today.
38
And this might be the reason why your life hasn't changed.
39
Because you keep waiting for the opportunities to come.
40
But you know what my friend?
41
opportunities don't just come you have to go
42
and look for them you have to go
43
and work for them you have to go
44
and create them my friend a lot of people just sit there doing the same things
45
and expecting the different results they wait for luck they wait for the miracle
46
and they believe that one day their life will magically change.
47
But that's not how life works.
48
You know, you work hard, you put in the efforts, and one day it pays off, period.
49
That's it.
50
That's life.
51
That's the truth.
52
So don't wait my friend.
53
Get up, do it, go for it, and create the opportunities.
54
I hope you have a beautiful day.
55
Peace.
56
your daily activity in English.
57
Whenever you're doing anything, just describe in English.
58
It's just like what I am doing right now.
59
You know, it's 5 o'clock in the morning and I am going for a walk.
60
It's cold here.
61
It's really scary here because I am at the abandoned water park.
62
You see, those are something really simple that I can use but then when you do so,
63
you are training your brain to think in English and it makes your speaking easier.
64
Tip number two, practice the conversations even before they happen.
65
You know a lot of people wait, they wait until the conversation starts and then they freeze.
66
So why not just imagine the conversations?
67
You know, predict the questions that you may get, a job interview, a meeting or maybe a conversation.
68
So practice and practice speaking out loud, not in your head, not on paper.
69
out loud in front of the mirror and watch your facial expressions and your body language
70
So you know what when the real situation comes your mouth is already ready tip number three record yourself
71
Some people may think that nah, I don't want I hate my voice You know,
72
I don't want to watch myself on a video But let me ask you this question my friend.
73
If you don't even like it, what is yours?
74
How do you expect others to like you?
75
Record yourself my friend.
76
Speak English about any topic for 30-60 seconds.
77
Watch it again, listen to your own voice, notice your mistakes, fix them and record again.
78
That is how you are taking progress.
79
So tip number four, use technology as your daily speaking partner.
80
You know, you can use ChatGPT, Gemini or other AI tools.
81
A lot are available.
82
So use them to take your ideas practice, asking them simple questions and answering them.
83
For example, hey, I want to practice English speaking with you.
84
Absolutely, I'm here for it.
85
See?
86
So, what about you?
87
How do you practice English speaking alone?
88
Let me know in the comments.
89
And if you are stuck in learning English and you need somebody to help, you know, I can't wait to be that person.
90
Over the past four years, I've helped thousands of Vietnamese people overcome their fear of speaking English and even fall in love with this language.
91
So let's make this journey beautiful together.
92
Leave a message, I'll reach out to you.
93
Hope you have a beautiful day.
94
Peace.
95
Always choose to be kind.
96
Even if nothing comes back in return.
97
Even if no one sees it.
98
Even if they don't care.
99
Or even if what they say anything about you.
100
still choose to be kind.
101
And it's not a strategy.
102
It's not about the rewards or the compliments or what you get back.
103
It is a decision that you make.
104
It is a life that you are creating.
105
It is the peace that you are building
106
for yourself when no one is watching and that is something that no one can ever take away from you
107
So always choose to be kind Hope you have a beautiful day Peace Hi, good morning.
108
This is Tommy and this is my daily English speaking challenge So I have a quick question for you today.
109
Are you expecting a perfect life?
110
You look at what other people show you on social media and you start feeling small, you start feeling down.
111
They have a perfect life, they have a perfect job, they drive a perfect car, they wear the perfect outfit,
112
they travel the world and you compare your life to theirs.
113
You start feeling small but my friend,
114
listen There's no such thing as a perfect life really
115
social media only shows the highlights not reality really people never show you their struggles
116
and their problems so why are you looking at the best days of other people
117
and compare to the worst days of yours.
118
My friend, there is no standard for success.
119
There are so many ways to get to the top of the mountain and you are on one of those paths.
120
So you can use it as motivation to work harder,
121
to try harder, but never feel ashamed, Never feel behind my friend.
122
You're gonna get there by one way or another.
123
Keep working.
124
The person that you should compete is the version of you from yesterday.
125
I hope you remember that.
126
Focus on your journey.
127
Keep working hard.
128
Keep believing in yourself and you're gonna get there my friend.
129
So I hope you Have a beautiful day.
130
Peace.
131
Hi, good morning.
132
This is Tommy.
133
And this is my daily English speaking challenge.
134
And these are seven lessons that people learn too late in life.
135
Lesson number one.
136
People come and go.
137
Some important people can become a stranger.
138
And a stranger can become important overnight.
139
So, accept it, my friend.
140
Lesson number two Your diet isn't just what you eat
141
It's what you read what you watch and who you spend your time with So protect your mind my friend
142
Lesson number three you have to let people down to be happy You can't please everyone
143
so choose your mental health that choice matters So, lesson number four.
144
You don't need to explain everything.
145
You know what my friend?
146
Not everyone deserves an explanation.
147
So sometimes peace is more important than being understood.
148
Lesson number five.
149
Progress will always beat perfection.
150
You know, small steps but done daily will always win.
151
waiting to be ready.
152
Lesson number six, quality over quantity.
153
One real connection is always better than many fake ones.
154
And the last one, fun is personal so stop copying others.
155
Find what makes you happy and do that.
156
So what about you?
157
What are some of the valuable lessons that you have learned.
158
Share with me in the comments and I hope you have a beautiful day.
159
Peace.
160
This is the most important skill that you need to learn in 2026.
161
And once you can master this skill, your life will transform.
162
And it's not English, It's not about communication or confidence.
163
The most important skill that you need to learn is to be okay with being disliked,
164
being judged, and being misunderstood.
165
Why?
166
Because, you know, we miss out on a lot of opportunities because we are afraid of upsetting others.
167
We're afraid to speak English because you know we think that somebody may judge us.
168
We're afraid of trying new things because somebody may not like it.
169
But my friend, you are not here to try to fit into every box.
170
And no matter how hard you try, you can't do that my friend.
171
You know, people come and go.
172
Not everyone will stay with you forever.
173
neither with their opinions, their judgments and their Christisms
174
so start living for you my friend you have to be responsible for your life
175
because yeah no one else does so I know
176
that you have a lot of plans in 2026
177
but I do hope that you learn to be okay with being disliked being misunderstood and being judged.
178
I hope you have a beautiful day.
179
Peace.
180
You feeling sad my friend?
181
Listen up.
182
Somewhere someone in the hospital is praying to be healthy again.
183
Just do it.
184
Do it happy, do it sad, do it confident, do it bored, do it tired.
185
Just do it because you can.
186
Good tip.
187
Hi, good morning.
188
This is Tommy and this is my daily English speaking challenge.
189
This is the most powerful word that I want you to keep saying this year.
190
No. So you know, I used to be a kind of person who said yes to everything everything,
191
every offer, every invitation and every request.
192
And it stood a lot of my time, really.
193
One day I stopped and I realized that when I said yes to everything,
194
I was actually saying no to the most important thing in my life.
195
So I learned to say no and since then my life started getting so much better.
196
I've had more time for myself, for my goals, for my dreams, and for what truly matters.
197
Maybe you don't believe me when I say this, but when you say no, people actually respect you more.
198
Why?
199
Because you respect your time, you respect your boundaries, your promises.
200
So, yep, some may leave and some will come.
201
And that is how you know who are the right people.
202
So, yep, I hope that in 2026 you learn to say no more often.
203
And I hope you understand that saying no is not selfish.
204
It's a form of self-love.
205
And in many ways, it's a way of loving others others and I hope you have a beautiful day.
206
Peace.
207
Hi, good morning.
208
This is Tommy and this is my daily English speaking challenge.
209
Wow.
210
And I want you to stop saying that you are not good at English or that English is too hard for you.
211
Why?
212
Because it's so dangerous my friend.
213
What you're doing is that you keep telling yourself, you keep training your mind to believe in what you say to yourself every day.
214
That you are not capable, that you are not good at English, that you can never do it.
215
And you will just believe in what you say because you'll keep repeating to yourself that you can't do it.
216
So you will just stop before you practice
217
or you will just stop before you start so instead change the way
218
that you talk to yourself every day retrain your brain to work for you my friend not against you
219
so start small start today stop the negative self-talk my friend and let it work for you.
220
Start telling your brain that you are good at English and you're learning growing.
221
Maybe you make mistakes, maybe you're not perfect right now, but that is how you learn.
222
So I hope you understand that your mind,
223
your brain It's listening to you and it is ready to help you grow.
224
So, take the small step today by putting down in the comments
225
that you're good at English and you will keep learning every single day.
226
So, I hope you have a beautiful day.
227
Peace.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
